FLAG-HOLDER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented March 5, 1907.

Application filed December 6,1906. Serial No. 346,592.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, NANCIE SUsAN MAKE- PEACE, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Dayton, in the county of Mont designed to be attached to either a window or door casing or attached to posts or pillars in halls or used on floats, wagons, or in any other manner.

The invention has for its object to provide a flag-holder simple in construction, eflective in operation, sightly in appearance, and adapted to be readily applied and adjusted as desired. Such objects are accomplished by the means illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which drawings like characters of reference indicate like parts throughout the views, and in which-- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a device embodying my invention attached to a window-casing. Fig. 2 is a rear elevation of said device. Fig. 3 is a vertical longitudinal section taken on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2, and Fig. 4 is a side elevation of the device shown in Fig. 1 applied to a wall or door-casing.

As illustrated in the accompanying draw- I ings, a standard 1 is provided with slots 2,

which are preferably inclined to the central I longitudinal line of the standard, as shown in Fig. 2. The slots 2 communicate with a transverse slot 3, formed in the standard, adapted to receive screw-eyes 4, connected with flagstafls 5, arranged within the slots 2 of the standard. 3 through only a portion of the standard, so as to leave a solid backing 6 on the standard opposite to said slot, and thereby strengthen the standard. A locking-bar 7 extends transversely through the standard and is adapted to engage the screw-eyes 4, attached to the ends of the flagstafls 5, so as to hold the flagst-afls securely in the standard. A nut 8 has a threaded engagement with the end of the bar 7, so as to retain said bar in position on the standard. The end 9 of the standard is beveled, so as to enable the flags to extend outwardly when attached to a window-casing, as shown in Fig. 3, or extend upwardly when the standard is attached to a door-casing, as shown in Fig. 4. The beveled end of the standard is secured to its sup- I prefer to extend the slot port by means of screws 10 or by any other means.

The flag-holder herein shown and described is exceedingly simple and inexpensive in construction and requires no skill to adjust it to its support and when once secured in place can remain in such position through any kind of weather without injury to the holder. The holder moreover, is not at all unsightly in appearance and dispenses with the necessity of nailing the sticks of the flags to a window or door casing, which soon render the flags unfit for use, whereas, by the use of the construction herein shown and described the flags may be repeatedly used without injury to the flagstafl's, for by means of the arrangement of the screw-eyes and locking-bar connected therewith the flags are held firmly in place, so that they are not likely to be blown down by the wind or removed by passers-by.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A flagstafY-holder comprising a standard provided with longitudinal slots adapted to receive flagstafls, a transverse slot communicating with said longitudinal slots, and a locking-bar adapted to engage the ends of said staffs within said transverse slot, substantially as shown and described.

2. A flagstail-holder comprising a standard having slots arranged at an inclination to the central longitudinal line of said standard, a transverse slot communicating with said inclined slots, and a locking-bar arranged within said transverse slot, substantially as shown and described.

3. A flagstatl-holder comprising a standard having a beveled end and longitudinal slots adapted to receive flagstafi's, a transverse slot communicating with said longitudinal slots, and a locking-bar arranged within said transverse slot, substantially as shown and described.

4. A flagstafl-hold er comprising a standard having a beveled end, and slots arranged at an inclination to the central longitudinal line of said standard, a transverse slot communicating with said inclined slots, and extending only part way through said standard, and a locking-bar arranged within said transverse slot, substantially as shown and described.

5. The combination with a plurality of flagstafls having screw-eyes connected with their ends, of a standard provided with slots adapted to receive said fiagstafi's and arranged at In testimony whereof I have signed my an inclination to the central longitudinal line name to this specification in the presence of IQ of said standard, a transverse slot communitwo subscribing Witnesses. iating with said inclined slots, and a locking- NANO'IE SUSAN MAKEPEACE.
